Our friends Chad and Debbie came up from Tucson and brought their boat this weekend. The closest lake to them is Lake Pleasant which works great for us because its less than 15 minutes from our house. The kids rode on the banana and loved it. The girls kept giving Chad the thumbs up to go faster and poor Neal (the designated rider) couldn't wait for it to be over. When they were dumped into the 65 degree water we all awaited the tears but were pleasantly surprised with clapping from both of them. It was a hit, thanks uncle Chad!

Two of my best friends!

This is after I landed my back flip!!!!! Chad dumped them right after this picture. They loved it! Well, the girls did. Two thumbs up...........hold on Kyson!

My little girl started school last week and loves every minute of it. In our school district Kindergarten is all day with a choice to come pick them up before lunch for a half day. I asked her if she wanted to just do a half day, and she looked at me like I was idiot. On the first day of school I was so worried about forgetting to send her with lunch that I forgot to feed her breakfast. So I was not only a basket case as I left her but once I remembered she didn't eat you can imagine my morning. 5 days later I still cry when I drop her off and lose her in the crowd of kids. Every morning she says to me, "mom, I'll be just fine......I'll see you at 3:00." (wait....who is the mother?) What would she say if she knew I drive by the school at recess to see if I can see her on the playground. She loves her teacher and loves the fact she has red hair just like her. She has met a lot of new friends and thinks she's pretty cool eating lunch in the cafeteria. We will see how long the love for cafeteria food lasts. Love you Kenna!

We were able to meet my family up in Oregon for the week. It was so nice to get out of the heat and enjoy the cooler weather up there. High's in the 60's are perrrrrrrfect for me. Tillamook cheese factory, crabbing, lighthouses, sand dunes, tide pools, are a few things we did while we were there. Loved it!

My brother got married in Spokane this summer and it was the most beautiful place I have ever been. The luncheon was at the Coeur d'alene golf course and that was a sight to see. We sat right here by the floating green and watched after they would T off their caddy would drive them out in a boat to the green. The picture doesn't even do it justice. The scenery was amazing! Welcome to the fam Amberly, we love you and couldn't have asked for anyone better for Bret.

Our Story

We were married on October 3rd 2001 in the Salt Lake Temple. We met up at Utah State while attending school. We dated for about 9 months before he left on his mission to Resistencia Argentina. After his mission we dated for a few months and the rest is history. We have two of the most wonderful kids we could have asked for. Kennedy who's 4 and Kyson who is 18 months. We are currently living in South Florida while Neal finishes Dental School. We miss our families so much but are so greatful for the wonderful friends we have here. Life is great, the weather is great, and the fact that we only have one more year of school is even better.
